About the Faculty

He did his PhD in Laplacian Immanants of Trees from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay under the supervision of Prof. Sivaramakrishnan Sivasubramanian. He was a PDF and RA fellow at IIT Kanpur, NISER Bhubaneswar, IIT Dharwad, IIT Bombay. His areas of research are in the field of algebraic combinatorics, graph theory and matrix analysis. As expected these three areas are very intimately related and many interesting geometric and topological aspects of a graph can be measured by using algebraic properties of a matrix associated with this graph. A central theme is to find out various applications of combinatorial objects and their connections in algebra. Currently, he is working on open problems involving integer partitions, immanants, spectra of graphs, matrices associated with graphs, quantum walks, symmetric functions, and characters of symmetric group.
